I am two weeks post op. I lost 40 lbs in the 2week pre diet and first week post op, but since then I think I have gained weight. I am doing 30 minutes of hard cardio a day, and weights. My diet consists of slimfast and Soup. WHy am I gaining weight. I have not had a fill yet, and I feel no restriction, I hope it gets better.:thumbup:

its not all about the "hard" cardio for 30 minutes its really about if you stay active during the day. i started excerising alot in the morning but i didnt lose anything and i didnt understand why so i got the bodybugg from 24 hour fitness to see how many calories i burn throughout the day and i noticed that its not about doing crazy excerise for a short period of time but actually doing moderate excerise in the morning which will help you burn more calories during the day. but you have to keep active like maybe extra house work just staying on your feet helps alot you wouldnt believe it. try to stay around 135 to 140 heat rate excerising which is usually not hard your not trying to run a marathon or anything your just wanting to lose weight. so no need to pump your heart like crazy. try to keep your food up alittle as well so your body dont feel like your starving and end up storing. another thing to think about if you are doing weights your prob losing fat but gaining muscle but dont take it as a bad thing you need muscle to burn away the fat. will help you in the long run to lose weight faster sort of speak.

I only walked to lose weight. Congradulations on your workout.

I was walking about 4 miles in 75 min. I hit a 3 week plateau. Yuk.

I mentioned to my gym person at the health club I was a member at ,that I was stuck and guessed I was going to walk 4 miles plus.

She said no more miles!!!! Walk the 4 miles differently. She said walk 1 lap quicker than my normal speed then 2 my regular speed, 1 faster , 2 same old same o.. repeat for whole 4 miles.

It WORKED . In 3 days those stubburn scales moved.

Maybe you can work something out for yourself .

Good luck,

edie

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
